Article 1: What Kinds of Messages Help Kids Grow?

I liked this article because it good points that every parent should read. With a simple replacement of a generic praise with process praise, significant differences can be noticed in the child's mindset and success in the future. This article also commented on incorporating the word 'yet' into the child's vocabulary. I can see how this would instantly help kids change their mindset and see challenging tasks as obtainable in the future.

Article 2: Be a Mirror

This article mostly applied to the educational setting, however it has lessons that can be applicable to everyday life. Being a mirror requires knowledge about the growth mindset and helping kids achieve it for themselves. I wish my teachers had used this method with me in the past because it seemed that more often than not, I felt like it was me vs. the classroom and learning, instead of me using the classroom and teachers to my benefit in order to learn.

I think feedback can be very helpful if used correctly and constructively, and harmful if used incorrectly. I love when feedback encourages people to see past their obstacles, and give them motivation to do better. Constructive criticism and using specific phrases along with 'not yet' can make a lasting difference in people's mindset- young or old.

Reading Notes: English Fairy Tales, Part A

The Old Woman and Her Pig When I read this story, it seemed as if this was written to be more of a riddle than a story. The way the story flowed and the sentences were structured was a bit unusual compared to most stories. However, I really enjoyed reading it because it seemed like something I might have heard in my childhood. The story began with introducing an old woman. She lived in a little house and she noticed one day that it was dirty and needed to be swept. So, she decided to clean the house and while she was sweeping, she came across a crooked sixpence. After discovering the pen, she decided she wanted to use it, however, she had no animals to put in the pen. To solve this dilemma, she went into town and bought a piglet. On her way back from the market with her piglet, the piglet was hesitant and would not go over a stile on the ground. So, in order to fix the problem she goes and finds a dog and asks the dog to bite at the pig so the pig would go over the stile. Af...

Week 8 Reading and Writing

Looking Back Previewing my past blogs and website, I am very pleased with how everything is turning out. I have gotten to read a lot of interesting stories, and focus my notes on my main interests. I seem to have a theme of animals, especially elephants, that I acquired through my different posts. One of my favorite readings would have to be 'Why the Elephant has Small Eyes' or 'The Bush Cow and the Elephant'. I especially enjoy reading, and recreating stories, to fit my own unique narrative. Looking Forward Moving forward, I am excited to read more mythology/folklore stories and build on my website. I feel like this class has helped improve my creativity and I hope to keep challenging myself to become a better writer in this course. [Blogging. Image Information. ]
